A free exhibition that uses objects from the museum's natural history collection to look at how people use, and overuse, animals, plants and minerals, and what that means for the climate and wildlife. Visitors move through four areas, from a warehouse to a waste dump, and it ends with examples of people living more in balance with nature. It's open to all, but the museum recommends it for ages 11 and up.
